About

Established 2o18

Apocalypse opened its doors in Niagara in January, 2018, and hired its first employees. The theme and name for the company was coined in November of 2017, at a conference in Rome with Denis Dyack’s good friend Tomonobu Itagaki (Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden) where they both discussed opening new studios. Itagaki-san also launched a new studio in Rome at this time.

Free to Play

Free to play is a model that Apocalypse embraces because of the accessibility to the title allows for players to try the game and opt-in paying for things only if they want to. This open accessibility increases the player base and helps scale all of the other elements in the game.

Twitch Integration

Twitch has become the dominant platform in the world to watching gaming. It has signiﬁcantly surpassed YouTube and other social media networking platforms. Not only is a great place promote your game but it has built-in hooks to allow for direct interaction between streamer and viewers.

Procedural Generation

Online games require that levels be played more then once to grind and level up. It is common today that a player will play a level many times and in order to break up the monotony, adding elements of procedural generation is necessary to keep the game engaging for the player. The latest in procedural generation techniques will be used.

Community Driven Design

Apocalypse strongly believes that community-driven design is the future of game design. Our goal is not only to interact with our community and get feedback about the game, but to actively involve them in the design if they are interested.

Staged Releases

With Games as a Service model (GaaS), the original release of the game is only the beginning and additions releases are planned on three months cycles to keep the game fresh and to continue to build interest.
